Yesterday we went for our first real doctors appointment (minus the one where we went two week ago for the blood test and rhogam injection).
It wasn't as exciting as I thought!-- since we've already done an ultrasound they didn't do another, not much more to see just yet. Also we don't get to hear the heartbeat until 11 weeks, poo :(
But they gave us a TON of information- a big ol plastic baggy full including a folder from the hospital, pamphlets, ads and coupons. Then they took my blood and pee and made an appointment for 3 wks from now.
One productive thing is that given our two hospital choices we chose St. Francis. It's a really nice facility, newer and more fancy than the other hospital, but also they have a NICU unit which the other one doesn't. Let's hope we never have to worry about that- but it's good to know. Check out our hospital

Sorry no pics yet- I look mostly the same. I've only gained two lbs so body change is really only noticable to me. When I have them I'll post them!

Hey there!
Saw your update on the PMO website and decided to check it out! Very cool & congrats, btw!! I too am Rh-, so I also got the the big needle in the butt a couple of times... no biggie! Funny story though; after I had Zach and they found that he was Rh+, I had to get the second round of shots. As I stood there, leaning over my bed in the hospital, waiting for the shot, I was shaking like a leaf. Then I thought to myself, "Wait a minute... I just squeezed out something larger and heavier than the last bowling ball I played with; why the HECK am I freakin' out about a needle in my butt?!!?" :) He was worth every poke and prod I got in the last nine months! Hang in there through the morning sickness... that will also pass! :)
Hey Jackie!
Glad to know there are other Rh- freaks out there like me. I don't so much mind shots in the butt- I have alot of padding so I don't feel a thing. It's the blood drawing I don't like :(
Love your blog- and what a cutey you have!
